NOT WATERPROOF! Not even a little bit. Jeremy from RCNightmare said, "Water even looks at this thing, and it's probley going to fry out." You could do what The Jang did and make a plasti-dipped Lexan case for it...

If you really want it waterproof swap out a brushed system with the standard Traxxas ESC.

You can waterproof the ESC by using a coating (a proper PCB conformal coating would be my recommendation, 300F should be the target temp for the rating) if you want to keep the Castle Creations ESC in use. The motor doesn't really care about water as long as you don't rust the bearings.

I ran mine last winter with just the shroud and only minimal drops got in under the front by the shocks. I just have all three casue im paranoid about water getting to my rx8 i just like the extra insurance

Yip, that's right...I don't submerge my truck in water; it often gets used on wet grass and through the occasional puddle and muddy conditions. Plastidip will permanently waterproof your ESC...it will also void your warranty.

Yeaah but i guess if i manage to break my esc, that it would fall out of the warranty, because if it would brake after this time, It would brake because of how I have handled my truggy:P Hmm, tough choice

last year it snowed pretty bad over here, i got the outerwears shroud and had no issues, i also only ran 6s, don't see the problem, 6s on snow was insane! not fully useable i admit but when you do bury the throttle the revo turns into a snow blower!! wicked fun i highly recommend it
